Vegetation Identification for Wetland Delineation

You cannot delineate a wetland without experience identifying wetland plants. If you are planning to achieve the Wetland Delineation Certificate, we require that you complete this course PRIOR to attending the 4-day Methodology for Delineating Wetlands course.

Plants are the most obvious clues to wetland boundaries. This two-day combination classroom and field course will teach you how to quickly and confidently identify plant species that are important in determining if an area meets the hydrophytic vegetation criterion for wetland delineation, focusing on ID characteristics. Learn basic plant ID groups, basic plant morphology and some basic botanical terminology. Please visit our main website for more detailed information about Vegetation Identification for Wetland Delineation.

Interested in obtaining our Wetland Delineation Certificate? By completing only two courses – Vegetation Identification for Delineating Wetlands: North or South and Methodology for Delineating Wetlands – you are eligible to sit for the examination to secure the nationally recognized Rutgers Wetland Delineation Certificate!
